Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1076-1078 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Roger C P Kwan, has undergone several significant events and renovations since its construction in 1906. Most notably, in August 2019, the building experienced substantial fire damage resulting from unauthorized hot work on the roof, affecting five of the six residential units. This incident triggered multiple repairs, including the replacement of fire-damaged walls and finishes in units 2, 4, and 6, as well as kitchen and bath remodels in units 1 and 5, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling over $60,000. The building is currently listed as non-compliant with the city's mandatory soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3), with an active complaint filed in October 2019 regarding failure to comply with requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, including a $70,000 soft-story retrofit permit issued in 2017, though this work's completion status contrasts with the current non-compliance designation. Historical repairs include addressing dry rot in 2005 and exterior maintenance issues in 2001. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple building violations and complaints, particularly during 2001-2006, including issues with heat, water pressure, mold, and bathroom damage. Recent building complaints from 2019 highlighted problems with heat, windows, and weatherproofing, though these appear to have been resolved. The building's location has generated several street-related service requests, primarily concerning parking violations and occasional sidewalk maintenance issues, with the most recent reports from 2023 focusing on garbage and debris concerns.

Risk rating

How 1076-1078 Capp St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
